KENT STATE
Keni State College is set on a hill, —
To win to her door you must climb with a will,
And Kent State Hill is weariful long, —
But we trudge on together, a glad-hearted throng.
Climbing the hill at Kent.
Kent State Portal is open wide;
VouVe made the grade and you're safe inside ;-
There's a clarion call to maiden and youth,
For now is the time you begin, in truth.
Climbing the hill at Kent.
For, hills of the earth or hills of the soul,
It is all the same, for they take their toll.
One of the body and one of the mind,
.\nd the summit is hard to gain, we find,
Climbing the hill at Kent.
But keep a-stepping. and first you know,
Vou are up on top where the cool winds blow,
Below, farstretched, lies a wonderful view
.■\nd glad are the eyes and the heart of you
That you climbed the hill at Kent.

TEACHERS AS DISCOVERERS
Biographies of great men — geniuses and near geniuses in the various fields of
human endeavor — give rise to marvel at the worth of such great souls and the value
of the contribution that even one such genius may make to human well-being.
Teachers are charged with the duty of discovering as well as developing the
native capacities of such individuals in the making. This responsibility should be
regarded as a serious obligation and at the same time as a priceless opportunity.
During the current year some unusual talent has been discovered among our
college students and our training school pupils. Graduates from Kent, if faithful
to duty, may find in unexpected lives rare abilities and have part in the developing
of these abilities. There is no experience in the life of a teacher that provides a
finer recompense.

DEAN OF WOMEN
THE GREATEST LESSON
If one were to ask each 1928 graduate
the question, " What is the most important
lesson to be learned in life?" what do
you think the answers would be? And
then if we should ask each graduate,
"Where did you learn the greatest lesson
of life?" I wonder how many would reply
that it had been taught in college.
^^'ashington was once asked by Robert
iNIorris what he should like to have as a
gift from his friend, the financier of the
Revolution. Morris was about to leave for
Europe, and wished to bring back a token
of friendship to the General. Washington
replied that he should highly prize a watch,
and further specified that he didn't care
much about the case, or any ornamentation
on the case, but that he did hope the in-
side would contain the best Geneva workmanship.
What was the thing of most importance? The works, of course. What is the
most important lesson we can learn? Is it not that the "works" do count most in
every one of us? What we ourselves are is of vital importance. Do you believe
this? Has life proved this to you through your own experience, and the experience
of others?
Sir Walter gave this same conclusion of his varied experiences. Have you not
read how he talked earnestly and affectionately to Lockhardt, his son-in-law, during
those last days at Abbotsford; and do you not remember his final message, "Lockhardt,
be a good man, — nothing else will give you comfort when you come to lie here."
What we are. That is what counts in the end. That is why all modern edu-
cators are paying so much attention to the leisure hours of students. What we do in
our "time off" shows what we are; and what we do in our "time off" is making us
what we shall be to-morrow.
You are going forth. Graduates of 1928, to teach many a lesson, many a lesson
well planned and well presented. But the greatest lesson you will ever teach will
be yourselj... You will teach it every hour of every day; and for it, you will have
made your lesson plans throughout the years. Your Alma Mater rejoices to send
forth so many this year who by their lives can teach lessons of real value to the boys
and the girls of Ohio.
I' age twenty
DEAN OFMEN
The most difficult task for the college
student is that of maintaining a certain
poise under new and changing conditions.
Compared with this the class work is
scarcely more than routine activity and
while the making of high grades is cer-
tainly a fins and worthy ambition, the
greatest achievement for any college stu-
dent is to build up an idealism that will
support and inspire him through all the
years of his life. It requires courage 1o
do this in the face of countless diversions
but you will recall that of all virtues our
dough-boys placed courage at the top. It
also requires hard work and sacrifice.
This office was established and is con-
ducted for the purpose of helping our men
students to gain and hold this certain
poise that will make it possible for them to think and act not only intelligently but
also in the morally right way. In this type of service, every year is a successful one
because there is never anything written on the negative side of the ledger. The only
regret we all have is that the lack of time and energy makes it impossible to write
more in on the positive side.
Our hopes are high for the future and our expectations as high as our hopes.
New club rooms, new equipment, new students, new departments, new buildings and
even new ideals are all before us. If we make the most of our opportunities there
is every reason to believe that we shall have one of the best departments to be found
anywhere.
We feel that it must be the aim of the college to encourage and direct the develop-
ment of every man so that self expression may be as complete as possible. In ad-
dition to the sum total of skills, appreciations, and ideals the college must attempt
to bring out qualities of leadership, initiative and strength of will. When we speak
of force of character we mean power to live according to the fundamental principles
upon which our civilization is built.
The modern conception of Education, defined as it is in terms of guidance, help,
and inspiration provides the basis for our work, and it would seem that one must
ininterpret duties, responsibilities and opportunities in terms of positive service rather
than repression. Holding back flaming youth has in the past and will in the future
end only in cowed subservience or rampant rebellion— -both undesirable results.
Guidance, on the other hand, directs the tremendous energies of youth toward con-
structive achievements, help gives the benefit of strength that comes out of experience,
and inspiration fires the imagination to look toward more distant horizons.

In trying to make the work of the Art
Department as useful as maj' be, we hold
as our creed the words of a great art leader.
"If you accept art, it must be pai't of
your daily lives, and the daily use of every
man. It will be with us wherever we go,
in the ancient city full of traditions of past
time, in the newly cleared farm in America
or the colonies, where no man has dwelt
for traditions to gather round him; in the
quiet country-side, as in the busy town,
no place shall be without it.* * * It shall
be no respecter of persons, but be shared
by gentle and simple, learned and unlearned,
and be as a language that all can under-
stand."
— William Morfiti
depart:\iext of agriculture
J. T. Johnson, A. B.
The school laws of Ohio require that
agriculture be taught in high schools and
elementary schools; that elementary teachers
who are examined by county superinten-
dents, must take the examination in agri-
culture in order to teach; and that Kent
College must maintain an adequate depart-
ment for the training of teachers of Agri-
culture for the schools of the state. Be-
cause of these laws Kent State since it
first opened its doors has maintained a
Department of Agriculture for the com-
plete and proper instruction of prospective
teacher.! and other students who desire a
broad and cultural education.
Page twenty-two
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
Harry A. Cunningham, B. S., M. A.
The courses offei'ed in the department of
biology are of three types — vocational, cul-
tural, and pre-vocational.
The vocational courses are designed for
the direct training of students for the voca-
tion of teaching biology. In these courses
the activities of biology teachers that have
been found to be frequent, important, and
difficult are considered.
In the courses that are thought of as cul-
tural in character the selection and organ-
ization of subject matter is made with the
idea of giving the student who does not in-
tend to continue work in the field of biology
the assistance most needed in living a full,
rational, and happy life. It is the purpose
of the department, in these courses, to teach
the big principles and generalizations of
biology in such a way that they can, and will, be applied in meeting life's problems
more successfully.
The advanced courses in the department are designed to be distinctly pre-vocational
in character and are planned primarily for those who have definitely decided upon one
of the vocations that is biological in nature.
DEPARTAIENT OF EDUCATION
AND PSYCHOLOGY
D. W. Pearce, a. B., M. a.
The Department of Education and Psy-
chology covets the favor and assumes the
responsibility of being one factor in the
production of artistic teachers. This de-
partment attempts to give the prospective
teacher, as far as possible under the con-
ditions that obtain, a working knowledge
and a practical grasp of teaching as a vo-
cation. A philosophy and theory of edu-
cation are absolutely necessary for vision,
but, at the same time, care must be taken
not to become visionary.
We desire that the period of adaptatior.
of our teacher-product to the actual teach-
ing position be made in the least possible
amount of time and with a minimum of
maladjustment. To help in attaining this
end, we welcome and solicit suggestions and counsel from superintendents, principals
and teachers engaged in service in the fields. Last, but not least, we desire that our
teacher-product shall possess a high sense of professional honor; shall stand four-
square as a leader and guide of the young.

Edgar Packard, A. B.
During the present year Prof. Chester
Satterfield of the English Department is on
eave doing advanced work in Columbia
University. Prof. William L. Mapel of
Maryville, Missouri, has been added to the
department; and he has had charge of pub-
licity and publications, as well as of the
Homecoming play. Prof. Thomas L. Davey,
who has been in the department for two
years, has moved into his new house, whicn
stands directly across the street from Pro-
fessor Satterfield's home. He has been com-
pleting some advanced work in Ohio State
University. Professor Packard has pub-
lished three booklets during the year. One
is "An Outline of Shakespeare's Plays,'
another is "Bible Notes," and still another
is a "Method of Advanced Reading." An
interesting and helpful literary map of Eng-
land has been added to the department.
DEPARTMENT OF FRENCH
Belle Rowlan, A. B., M. A.
The aim of this department is to offer an
oportunity of mastering French for its own
sake. Here is a chance to lengthen your
vision, to open the doors of the unknown.
By much reading from many authors you
will be able to follow the thoughts of the
masterminds of another great civilization.
So you may form contacts with source
material, and advance to research work in
history, literature and science as well as add
to the pleasure found in music, art and
travel.
A key to a fuller life.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY
AND GEOLOGY
David Olson, M. Sc, A. B.
In earlier times a man's area of relation-
ships extended but little beyond his visual
horizon. Today it is Earth encompassing.
We depend on and contribute to all parts.
In this enterprise we have girdled the earth
with rails and wires. We have taken to
waters and the air and indeed to the uni-
versal ether. We are straightening rivers,
levelling mountains,, extending shorelines,
deepening bays and exploring the air. We
fly over the plains and waters and have gone
far in conquering physical force. Peace
and good will depend on our understanding
this new and wider sphere of interrelations.
Here lies the field of geography.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
A. O. DeWeese, B. S., M. D.
The Student Health Service of Kent State
Normal College is organized upon the three
following assumptions :
1. That educationally it is now generally
recognized that Health is a fundamental
factor in training and preparation for citi-
zenship since the health of the boy and girl
materially determines endurance, disposition,
and attitude. Endurance, disposition, and
attitude vitally eifect happiness and effi-
ciency.
2. That in the training and preparation
for citizenship the school is as much re-
sponsible for the preservation and protection
of the child's health, and the development of
his physical efficiency and well-being as it
is in the guidance and training of his mental
attainments.
3. That an abundance of radiating health and physical well-being is of more import-
ance to the classiToom teacher than an individual in any other profession, since an
example in well-being is an incentive of greatest importance in Health Education,
and an uhealthy teacher cannot be in complete sympathy with the attitude and dispo-
sition of live, healthy, outdoor-minded boys and girls.

THE HISTORY AND SOCIAL
SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
A. Sellew Roberts, A. B., M. A., Ph. D.
History is tlie record of the development
of man on this earth as told by his remains,
his monuments, and his inscriptions. Hisi-
(ii-y with its sister sciences, Economics;
Government and Sociology, well nigh covers
the entire range of man's activity on this
planet. Instead of being a dry and tedious
list of facts and dates as many regard it
it is as full of interest as life itself for it
is the record of life. There are few if any
subjects that have a greater bearing on the
development of the student into a useful
citizen and a worth while member of society
than those given in this group. Likewise
there are few subjects that require better
preparation for successful teaching than
these, and there are none that give a quicker
response to the competent teacher. The
student of the social sciences is not only the better equipped to be a good citizen but
he has also found avenues for cultural development that are unsurpassed. The
study of these sciences cannot be too highly encouraged.
DEPARTMENT OF HOME
ECONOMICS
Bertha Nixon, B. S.
The slogan of home economics is "Better
Homes", and a home economics department
must keep this primarily in view while, ut
the same time, preparing for the teaching
profession.
How vital this question of Better Homes
really is can be realized when we note that
ninety per cent of all women become home
makers. Every other occupation require:;
intensive training and preparation, and yet
the profession of home maker, — the greatest
of all, — has been generally neglected.
A home depends upon the physical, social
and ethical standards of its members, just
as it does upon the economic phases of
daily life. The girl who has studied scien-
tific home planning, the choice, preparation
and serving of foods, the selection of ap-
propriate clothing, and the general care and
management of the home and family isbound to be
than the girl who lacks this background.

THE DEPARTMENT OF
KINDERGARTEN-PRIMARY
G. Hazel Swan, B. S.
The new curricula, both three year and
four year, for this department, were com-
pleted during- the year of 1926 and 1927.
In September, students were able to register
in them. Thirteen courses are offered, eight
of which have already been given.
The department will move to a new suite
before the summer session.
Students specializing in this department
will soon have the opportunity to join a
Kindergarten-Primary Club. Membership
in the club will enable the students to have
many and varied experiences connected with
the Kindergarten-Primary field and thus
further enrich their college work. Some of
the activities possible are social meetings
for acquaintance; out of town visiting, as
to the Nursery Schoo's of Cleveland; shar-
ing of experiences among the various classes; attendance of a group at the Inter-
national Kindergarten Meetings by invitation, a custom recently established by that
organization; bringing speakers of reputation to us and sharing them at meetings
with guests.
THE LIBRARY
Margaret Dunbar, B. L., B. L. S.
Just as "All roads lead to Rome" so all
courses in the curriculum at Kent Stale
College lead to the library. Every hour
of the day students are in the library read-
ing; enriching the textbook and classroom
work by reading from authorities in the
subjects they are studying. Not only are
they reading on certain specified subjects
but they are reading or selecting for home
reading, books written by artist-authors;
enriching their lives by using their leisure,
for reading; their leisure, the most precious
hours of life.
Although we are still in an outgrown
room, new books have been added, upon
recommendation of heads of various de-
partments, until now we have a library of
about thirty five thousand volumes, selected
for our special needs. We look forward to
housing the library in the new David Ladd Rockwell building, with its adequate space
and its beauty, but this old library room with its informality, its associations, its easy
access from other buildings, will long be remembered by many students and faculty.
Page twenty-seven
DEPARTMENT OF
MANUAL TRAINING
Clinton S. Van Deusen, M. E.
The aim of manual training is to develop
in all children, irrespective of their future
occupations, mainly throug'h handwork; de-
sirable attitudes toward materials, proces-
ses, values and workers and elementary
abilities along many lines of manual acti-
vity. It is essentially learning by doing. It
should be started in the kindergarten and
continued through all grades into the high
school. The manual abilities acquired in
manual training should be used to express
by doing, in motivating many other lines of
school activity.
The department, having been largely
crowded out of the power house on account
of the expansion of the heating plant and
finding but scant space in the basement of
Merrill Hall on account of the delayed occu-
pation of the new training school, has been working this year under difficulties. It has
however been striving to prepare prospective teachers to carry to the children of Ohio
the best possible in manual training.
DEPARTMENT OF .MATHEMATICS
Raymond E. Manchester, A. B., M. A.
The Department of Mathematics at Kent
State has been steadily growing not only
in size but also in strength. A complete
range of courses is now open to a student
wishing to specialize in the subject with a
guarantee that the work offered will be ac-
cepted at any other college or university.
At present the spotlight is centered on the
creation of a mathematics laboratory. This
will provide added opportunity for research
and individual study. Another dream we
have is the establishment of a summer sur-
veying camp. If this camp idea materia-
lizes it will make possible an opportunity
for study under interesting conditions, and
at the same time it will provide sufficient
change of procedure to appeal to all those
who enjoy outdoor life.
During the coming year it is the plan to
present a much more comprehensive course in statistical methods and to organize
outfield discussion club made up of those teaching mathematics in this section
Ohio.
Page twenty-eight
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
Florence Sublette, B. S., M. A.
Music has never been so popular at Kent
State as it is today. Gradually our aims
are being realized in that there are now six
distinct divisions in the department. Be-
sides the regular classes in Music Apprecia-
tino, Harmony, and Teaching of Music,
there are courses in piano and organ, two
Choruses, and Orchestra, a Male Quartette,
and a Band. The ou'^standing feature of
the year — Gilbert & Sullivan's comic opera.
The Pirates of Penzance, was succesfully
carried through under the direction of Mis.s
Sublette. Proceeds are used for furthering
interests of the department and for pur-
chasing needed equipment and Band instru-
ments.
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL
SCIENCES
C. F. RuMOLD, A. B., LL. D.
The Department of Physical Sciences at
Kent State Normal College offers in regular
courses 102 term hours of work in Chem-
istry and 30 term hours in Physics. In ad-
dition, special courses are arranged for
students who have the necessary prepara-
tino for profitably pursuing the work.
Students who are working off pre-medical
or engineering requirements here find
exactly the work they need. The earlier
courses are presented with emphasis on the
method of teaching these fundamental sci-
ences. It, Is intended to give in these
courses the training in the presentation of
the facts and principles which will equip
one for successfully teaching these sciences
in the high schools. Those students who
are looking forward to careers in the ap-
plied sciences will find in the more advanced courses work equivalent to similar courses
in the Colleges and the Universities. The laboratory facilities are unexcelled and
much emphasis is given to individual laboratory work.

Page twenty-nine
THE REGISTRAR
John Lewis Blair, A. B., M. A.
The office of the Registrar has in the
past been thought of simply as a sort of
academic bool<.keeping department, con-
cerned only with the grades and hours of
credit of each student balanced against the
formal requirements for graduation. Col-
leges are beginning to outgrow this con-
ception, substituting for it the idea that the
Registar's office should be a clearing house
and reference department for a large varie-
ty of information about the student.
In order to fulfill this enlarged function
we plan a complete reorganization of the
system of student records at Kent State.
We will use new record cards containing
important information about the student's
personal history, his previous school record,
his scholastic and his extra-curricular act-
ivities while in college, and his vocational
record; assembled so as to make possible quick analysis and classification. With
such a fund of information available to administrative officers and faculty memb-
ers it is believed that the relationship between the school and the individual will be
placed on a more human, personal, and therefore more efficient basis.
TRAINING DEPARTMENT
A. L. Heer, a. B., M. A., Ph. D.
The training department of a teachers'
college is the testing ground of the products
of the college. Here theory courses are
given meaning through demonstration les-
sons; here the proopective teacher trans-
lates theory into practice; here the prospec-
tive teacher acquires some of those atti-
tudes, abilities, and skills which it is hoped
will help make a successful teacher; here
an attempt is made to co-ordinate practice
with the various theory courses in the col-
lege proper.
It has been transferred to its new home
in the William A. Cluff Training School
Building. The school is much more
adequately housed and equipped than it has
been in its old quarters. Yet all of this
will mean nothing unless it will result in
better educational opportunities for the
boys and girls enrolled therein and unless it will provide better opportunities for the
training of the teachers enrolled in the college. Toward these ends the faculty is
ending every effort.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLICITY
William L. Mapel, B. J.
This department was established last fall,
and is still in the infant stage. Its growth
has been slow; slower, in fact, than it would
have been under normal conditions. It is
the hope of those in charge, however, that
public information will soon be placed on
its rightful pedestal and that sufficient time
and money will be available for work in the
department. During the school year sev-
eral matters have been handled by the new
department. Among them was the establish-
ment of an alumni circular, mailed out
quarterly. All journalistic activities of
the school have been placed in this depart-
ment, and instruction in newspaper method
and theory has been placed in the curri-
culum.
DEPARTMENT OF TEACHER
PLACEMENT AND EXTRA-MURAL
ACTIVITIES
Emmet Stopher, A. B., M. A.
The Departmen of Teacher-Placement and
Extra-Mural Activities was reorganized
in September, 1927. For a considerable
part of the year the chief work of the de-
partment is to assist Kent State graduates
and students to secure teaching positions
for which they are qualified. The depart-
ment recognizes that it can be permanently
helpful to the college only on condition that
it consider first the interests and welfare
of the school children who are to be taught.
Another duty of the department is to act
as a coordinating agency in helping to bring
to the school authorities of Northeastern
Ohio the facilities of the college, and in re-
turn to bring to the college the suggestions
and information from the field which will assist the institution in giving the best pos-
sible service to its students and to the public at large.
One of the services the school renders is through its Extension Department.
The correspondence work at the college is being continued and is one of the im-
portant ways in which the college gives help to those who are unable to be in
residence.

The Senior Class of 1928 was organized at the earliest possible date and began
to function immediately. A wide awake social committee was appointed with Frank
Hanna as chairman. A series of social functions was planned and carried out to
the delight of all present.
The gift committee also did an outstanding piece of work in choosing useful
articles for the new library rather than purchasing something that would be used
very infrequently and then by only a select few.
We have included in the senior group as many of the summer graduates of 1927
as had pictures taken before leaving Kent. This practice, we hope, will be carried
out to a much greater extent in future years for surely the summer quarter and its
"students and graduates are as much a part of the college year and deserve a place in
the Chestnut Burr the same as those in attendance during any of the other quarters.
The idea of classifying students in only four classes instead of six as has been
done in previous years has been carried out in this book. We feel that this is a good
plan or it would not have been used. However this has not been done with the in-
tention of slighting the classes in the two-year courses but in conformity with the
present trend toward a higher standard in the requirements for teachers. Sooner or
later a great majority of the two-year graduates will be returning to complete the
four-year course and to continue even be\ond that so why not begin now to emphasize
the more advanced work?

THE MEN'S UNION
The Men's Union is an organization including all the men of the college. The
purpose of the organization is to promote the welfare of men students and to offer
opportunity for student expression on all matters.
The activities of the Union include promotion of pep meetings, dinners, dances,
dramatics, etc. and the maintenance of club rooms and rest rooms for men.
During the year three big events were arranged in addition to several informal
pep meetings. It is a general policy to arrange one important event for each
quarter.
The Union also sponsored a Kent State Band during the year 1927-28. providing
capes and caps. With the start made this year we look forward to an excellent ban<i
organization next year.
One of the dreams is to arrange suitable club rooms for visiting Alumni. This
would stimulate a more active interest in the college on the part of outfield men
and would, of course, make better contacts with the High Schools of our district.
Page ninety three
THE WOMEN'S LEAGUE 01-
This organization shall promole mitters of student life pertaining to the women
of the college. It shall foster the spirit of unity and loyalty to Kent State Normal
College. It shall be a medium by which the physical, the mental, and the spiritual
standards of the college shall be kept high."
This is the purpose of the Women's League of Kent State College, of which all
women students are active members, and all women members of the faculty are
honorary members.
Many interesting activities have been sponsored by this organization in 1927-28.
.■\mong these, the New Year's Ball, the Father and Mother Week-End, the .Arbor
Day assembly program, the Big and Little Sister Teas, and the Sunset Dances
have indicated a successful year.
Page Ninety-four
THE OFF-CAMPUS WOMEN'S CLUB
An important women's organization is the Off-Campus Women's Club. More
than one hundred women living off-campus enroll as members each term. The club
has as its aim the creation of a spirit of co-operation and unity among its members,
and the promotion of activities which serve to draw these members closer together.
Each term a Registration Tea is given at which all the new off-campus women are
entertained. Activities during the year include parties and dances, the May break-
fast, and the annual "Pop" entertainment.
At Homecoming time, an invitation to an Off-Campus Women's Club banquet
is sent to every alumna member. At present there are more than twelve hundred
alumnae members. The "old grads" come back, and exchange friendly gossip
with the present students.
Miss Lucy Stadler proved to be an efficient president during the first half of the
year. Miss Betty Hamilton then stepped in, and continued the work of the office
until June.
Page ninety-five
Y. W. C. A.
The Y. W. C. A. is the only religious organization on the campus. It holds a
meeting every week, at which time either some one interested in the "Y" work
speaks, or some members lead a discussion on some problem vital to the modern
girl. One of the most interesting meetings of the year was the one when' a mission-
ary recently returned from China spoke of China and her students.
Besides these regular meetings, the "Y" has . entertained the children at the De-
tention Home near Ravenna, sent boxes to the boys and girls at Caney Creek, in the
mountains of Kentucky, and held its annual Colonial Ball on Washington's birthday.
The financial support of the organization comes through contributions of mem-
bers, profits from the annual bazzar in December, and from an annual benefit
picture.
There have been about seventy members in the academic year of 1927-1928.

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB
The Social Science Club offers an opportunity for students and faculty who are
interested in History and Social Science to meet together to hear lectures and to
discuss questions bearing on the field. A continuous and consistant policy has been
difficult to follow this year because of the changing personnel among the officers.
During the Spring Term Miss Beatrice Johnstone acted as General Chairman and
several worth while meetings were held. Dr. Roberts, Head of the History Depart-
ment, gave a constructive discussion of "What History Is." Mr. John B. Gillespie,
Jr., painted a brilliant word picture of John Paul Jones, American Sailor. Mr. Russell
Packard, from Cuyahoga Falls, gave .an interesting talk.

FACULTY CLUBS
There are two faculty clubs at Kent State. The women of the faculty and the
wives of men on the staff form the Faculty Women's Club, also known as the Faculty
Dames. Miss May H. Prentice is the president of this organization, which meets
monthly.
The meetings of the Faculty Women's Club are of two kinds. Some are of a
business nature, but the majority are social gatherings: dinners, teas, musicals, and
parties.
Twice during the school year the men are entertained by the Faculty Dames.
Last fall there was a Hard-Times party, at which Mrs. Helen Bonsall and Dean
Manchester won prizes for the hard-luck costumes. At the April meeting the
program was furnished by the men. It consisted of a minstrel show and a number
of games. A dinner at Lowry Hall preceded the entertainment.
The men of the staff form what is known as the Faculty Men's Club. This is
an informal organization, meeting on the fourth iVIonday of each month throughout the
eleven months of school. In order that there might be no cut-and-dried formality,
the club did not elect officers at the beginning of the year. Instead a plan was in-
augurated whereby the organization was governed by a rotating committee, of three,
one member of which was elected each month.
The meetings of the organization are held in connection with a dinner at Lowry
Hall. Usually the program is divided into three parts: fun, non-shop talk, and shop
talk. Since January the organization has been working on a program for "A
Greater College at Kent." Papers have been delivered by about a dozen members
on several phases of proposed development, and a definite program is under way.

THE PANHELLENIC ASSOCIATION
The Kent State Panhellenic Association was founded November 17, 1926. At
the present time it is composed of three representatives from each of the nine sor-
orities on the campus. This college organization is a member of the National
Panhellenic Association of Educational Sororities. Although still young, the Asso-
ciation has had a helpful influence upor all by encouraging each sorority to take an
active interest in college activities for the common good.
The regular meeting is held the second Wednesday of each month. A scholar-
ship cup was purchased by the Panhellenic of 1926-1927. This cup is presented
each year to the sorority achieving the highest average in scholarship.
The adopted slogan of Kent State's Panhellenic Association is, "All for One and
One for All."

KENT STATE COUNCIL
Kent State Council has carried on its regular work this year, and in addition has
undertaken some new lines of activity.
In response to a general demand from the upperclassmen, freshman initiation was
aproved and supervised by the council. Color was certainly in evidence with the
wearing of the green. Then in December came the bonfire with flames reaching
up to the heavens; and into these flames ribbons and caps were consigned to oblivion.
A night never to be forgotten!
The second new activity sponsered by the council was the College Red Cross Roll
Call. One hundred dollars was collected — a good beginning.
The council also selected the candidates to represent Kent State at the great
quadrennial conference of Christian students, in Detroit, in December.
Kent State Council fully justifies its existence by being a sufficiently pliable
organization to work for the college in response to ever changing demands on the
campus.

LOWRY HALL
There's a hall at Kent State Collef:e.
From which we soon must roam ;
It is full of fun and knowledge.
And it is our second home.
At first, we have the freshmen dear.
Who just don't seem to fit ;
The things so vague to them appear.
They often wish to quit.
The sophomores, quit the other way: —
They have a running start.
Wise Fools, the whole world they would sway.
And to them t' would be a lark.
The juniors, diligent and grave.
Return with books galore ;
Ail knowledge which their heads can't save,
In notebooks it is stored.
Seniors now they are at last.
And reek with sentimentality.
They are simply in another caste
When it comes to high mentality.
Closed are the gates to Lowry,
Her post lights now are dimmed :
Gone are the days so flowery.
And the girls so full of vim.
Goodby, dear Kent State College,
Goodby, dear Lowry Hall,
Goodby, to all you comrades,
We hear our duty call.

MOULTOX HALL
The last building on the driveway, as one leaves the campus, is IMoulton Hall.
It is here that approximately one hundred girls live and enjoy every detail of college
life — the work as well as the play. To help them enjoy their play they have i
piano and a radio in the large music room, which other organizations also enjoy.
The Moulton girls of 1927-1928 have made the foyer more attractive by adding
gay colored cushions, a wrought-iron log basket, and magazine racks. The pride of
the year is the Moulton Hall Banner in scarlet and gray.
Although Moulton has in her ranks girls from Ohio. West \'irginia. Indiana.
Michigan, and Pennsylvania, they all can truthfully sing:
"Oh when the girls of Moulton fall in line.
We're going to have a jolly, good old time;
And with a full-fledged spirit, yell, yell, yell,
For the dear old dorm we love so well."

VELVET CURTAIN PLAYERS
The third season for the Velvet Curtain players proved to be one of the greatest
from the standpoint of both organization and production.
The outstanding Play of the year was perhaps the presentation of, "The Lovliest
Thing," which was given at the close of the fall quarter.
It is the hope of the organization to promote more Assembly programs during the
coming year.
Professor William L. Mapel has been faculty-advisor of the club for the 1927-28
season.

Two dramatic productions in addition to the annual Homecoming play were pre-
sented during the year 1927 at Kent State by student talent. Both were directed by
Prof. William L. JMapel of the English department.
"The Loveliest Thing." a Christmas play, was presented at the last assembly pro-
gram before Christmas vacation.
"Suppressed Desires." a comedy in two acts, was presented as a part of the Off
Campus Women's Club's annual "Pop" entertainment.

The Women's Chorus was organized five years ago with approximately twenty
members, for entertainment and study. Practices were held after school and those
came who were interested. Today a regular course is offered for which credit is
given, with over sixty enrolled. Much of the work during the year has been spent in
the production of the Pirates of Penzance and Assembly and Commencement programs.

THE M£\'S GLEE CLUB
The organization of the Men's Glee Club reached its greatest height when repre-
sentative members decided that a Kent State College Male Quartette would help fill
:he needs of the College, as well as provide entertainment for themselves. They have
furnished music on several occasions for Assembly programs. They have also taken
/requent trips to towns throughout this section, singing on High School Commence-
ment programs, and similar occasions. It is hoped that this will become a permanent
element in the program of the !Music Department at Kent State College.

THE ORCHESTRA
The Orchestra is the oldest musical organization on the Campus. Started nearly
six years ago with about ten members, it has grown until now it is composed of twenty
members with Miss Florence Sublette as Director. They have given programs for
assemblies and dinner concerts at Lowry Hall, besides playing the overtures for the
Opera, "The Pirates of Penzance." The compositions used vary from light opera to
modern popular music. It is hoped that this organization will continue to progress
as it has in the past.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
"The Pirates of Penzance," a comic opera in' two acts by Gilbert and Sullivan, was
the leading achievement of the year by the combined Glee Clubs of the College.
Under the direction of Miss Florence M. Sublette, head of the music department,
the opera proved to be one of the leading entertainments held in the college auditor-
ium during the college year of 1927-28.

THE 1927 SEASON
A study of the summaries of Kent State's football history shows that the 1927 team
held its opponents to the smallest number of points scored on any Kent State foot-
ball team during a season.
Kent's defensive play proved to be successful during the entire season. Opposing
teams were held to low scores for a total of only 79 points in the seven games played.
"Cocky" Kilbourne, freshman fullback, was lauded by many of the visiting coaches
as one of the best defensive backs that they had encountered during the season.

Offensive playing seemed a jinx for the Wagonerites. They succeeded in scoring
in only two games for a total of 25 points. Several times during the season they
bad the ball on the 1-yard line, 1-foot line, and on one occasion, during the Edinboro
game, on the 1-inch line, but were unable to carry the ball over for the touchdown
which would have made a victory possible had the extra point been scored.

3'ear's squad only three, D. Menough, C. Davis, and Chernin, will be minus from the
squad for next season.
Jake Searl, junior, and two letter man in football, has been elected captain of the
1928 team.

End
II must be noted that last year Kent State played a schedule of hard games. There
were no set-ups. Such will be the case in the future if Coach Wagoner and Mr.
Davey have their way. It is the hope of those in charge of athletics at the college
to eventually have nothing but conference games on the schedule.
It is likely that Kent State, now a provisional conference member, will in the near
future win a place in the athletic body. Then Kent Staters will have an opportunity
to see the best teams in this section of the country in action. Until that time, those
in charge are doing all possible to book strong opponents for the Golden Flashes.

School spirit was on a higher plane last fall than ever before at Kent. The stu-
dent body loyally supported its team, and the attendance at all games was better
than ever in the past. A practice of raising the Kent State colors before each gamv'
was inaugurated at the beginning of the season. Dean Manchester was in charge of
this bit of tradition building, and the ceremony became one of the regular events on
the program at each game.

Several enterprising students started a band organization during the football sea-
son. Although this effort was not as auspicious as it might have been, the seed was
sown, and indications are that there will be a strong band next year.
A number of men students of the college started a pep organization toward the end
of the football season. This group, continuing through the basketball season, fur-
nished an abundance of rooting for the home team and stimulated the rest of the
students to renewed cheering effort.

CURTISS
Forward
BASKETBALL IN 1928
As the curtain was drawn on the
1927-28 cage season we find that
Kent State's Golden Flashes made
a good showing despite the fact
that thirteen games were lost.
The opposition furnished by
Kenyon, Mount Union, Ashland,
Bliss, and Slippery Rock colleges
was no small task to meet. How-
ever, the team gave its best at all
times and displayed a fine spirit
whether winning or losing.
"Dud" Vair, Captain, played i
remarkable brand of ball, consider-
ing the handicap of a badly in-
jured hip that would not respond
to treatment. Such gameness was
an inspiration to his teammates
and basketball loving fans.
Page one hundred sixty-six
Page one hundred sixty-seven
Searl and Kilbourne were close
competitors for second place with
Searl leading by a one-point mar-
gin. Individual Scores:
Curtiss, 95; Searl, 79; Kil-
bourne, 78; Vair, 52; Fisher, 48;
Graber, 23; Kelso, 16; Broz, 7;
Hardy, 5.
"Les" Hardy is the only member
of this year's squad who will not
return. He will graduate.

I'HK FRESHiMAX TEAM
Kent State had its first freshman basketball team this year. Robert Kelso, a
member of Mr. Altmann's coaching class, was placed in charge of the yearlings, and
he developed a consistent machine. His men played about a dozen games and their
record for the season was better than 500 per cent.
Several times during the season members of the freshman team became so good
that they were drafted to the Varsity. This demonstrated the feasibility of such an
undertaking, and it is likely that it will become an annual practice.
Virtually all members of the freshman team will be out for the Kent State Var-
sity next year. They will have had the year's experience which otherwise would
have been denied them.

BASEBALL THIS SPRING
Although only two men of last year's team were available for the opening game
with Western Reserve, Coach Wagoner rounded into shape a formable looking base-
ball machine.
Claude Graber, catcher and Frank Curtiss, center fielder, veterans of the squad
were fixtures at their favorite positions. "Jake" Searl and Payne look like "league
stuff" on first and third base respectively. Archie Davis, Fisher, Broz, Sapp and
Glasgow were other infielders fighting for places.
There was a wealth of good material in the "gardens." The "ball hawk," Curtiss
was flanked by two capable fielders selected from a group composed of Castor,
Phillips, Sickman, and Mallet.
The three best bets for pitching duty were Harland Sickman. Les Scarr, and Byrnt.
The slab staff was strengthened considerable when Gerber "an old head" reported at
the mid-spring term.
The squad in its practices showed a fine brand of "heads-up" ball." What they
would do under fire was only a prediction. After all the games are won on the dia-
mond and not on a scribes typewriter.
Robert Kelso is manager of the team.

For the first time in her history the college was repre-
sented on the mat by a wrestling team in 1928. Thi-
team started spontaneously. Some of the boys wer^
exercising with Dr. Roberts of the History Department,
and they asked him to organize and coach a team.
The team had two meets, both with Western Reserve
University. The meet on March 24 was in Wills gym-
nasium and resulted in a victory for Kent by the score
of 20 to 1.^. Before the meet the team elected Dunlavy
as captain for the year. He lived up to his responsi-
bilities in fine style by pinning his opponent neatly and
thereby contributing 5 points to the victory. Arnett, A.
Davis, and Crow helped swell the total by securing fa'ls
over their opponents. Our victory was all the more w^'-
oome because it was tntirely unexpected, most of all b'
our opponents.
The next Saturday when we went to Cleveland for the
return meet we met a team that was sadder and wiser,
.^fter a hard struggle in which we got two falls against
one for them, we lost the meet 14 to 10 through d ■•
cisions in the other bouts.
AU things tonsidered the season was a success. After
the meet the team elected A. Davis captain for next sea-
son. Our chances are bright. To be sure we lost C. Davis
and Captain Dunlavy by graduation, and their place'
will be hard to fill, but we have Arnett, Captain-elect
Davis, Stratton, Barry, Ci-ow, and Graber as nucleus for
„ ,. another year.

Two years ago two athletic organizations sprang up at Kent State to promote
sports among women students. They were known as the Buccaneers and Musketeers.
During the first year enthusiasm ran high. Last year the Buccaneers under
the leadership of Edna Tarr, won the beautiful bronze plaque which is now displayed
near the distribution desk in the library. This plaque was given by the athletic
department to the team that won the most points during the year.
Points were given in various sports. These points, together with the monthly ath-
letic meets of the two organizations, determined the winner.
This year there has been even greater rivalry than last. The Musketeers, de-
termined to wrest the victory trophy from their rivals, put up many royal scraps.
The first meet was won by the Musketeers under the leadership of "Ev" Long, gen-
eral, but the Buccaneers, with "Hank" Strayer, admiral, as leader, won the next three.
In the line of sports, soccer, basketball, volley ball, and tennis, seem to be favorites.
The two organizations divided honors in basketball and volley ball. The Buccaneers
won the basketball championship, while the Musketeers copped first honors in volley
ball
Baseball and field hockey were the most popular spring team sports. Archery and
tennis bid for popularity in the individual activities.
The last big meet of the year was held May 7, on Rockwell field. It took the form
of a field day and barbeque Field events furnished most of the athletic program.
Singing and "eats" also had a prominent part.
The high spot of the year came on "Recognition Day," the day set aside to honor
winners of "K's" in both inter-collegiate athletics and intra-mural activities. At
this time, winners of K's were given long sought and hard earned recognition.
Although there were many who did not reach the goal, they have worked hard and
have willingly backed their respective leaders. Many of these will return next year
to add new points, and to win the coveted honor.
Many loyal girls were graduated and lost to the organization. These co-eds
leave wishing the greatest of success to their Alma Mater's Buccaneers and Musket-
eers and their program of womens athletics. '
Long may the emblems of the Buccaneers and Musketeers wave in the halls and on
the campus of Kent State!

SWIMMING
Since the completion of the pool, swimming has been
a leading activity among Kent State co-eds. This was
clearly demonstrated at the swimming meet held between
the Buccaneers and Musketeers during the winter term.
In this meet the Bucs upset the dope for the Muskies
were slated to win because of their victory last year.
Mrs. Irwin, swimming instructor; Jean Rothwell.
captain of the Musketeers: and Millie Green, captain
of the Buccaneers, were in charge of the meet. The
events scheduled included challenges, races, diving,
under-water swimming, and swimming for form.
"Open pool" at 4 o'clock each day also provides a
popular form of recreation for Kent State's Gertrude
Eiderles.

The Faculty Meet for a hot time — nvd hni
POLLUTED POLITICS MADE OVER
It was an important meeting. The future of one of the outstanding clubs on the cam-
pus was at stake. Were the politicians of the Campus political dungeon to rule the
destinies of the Volaceous Curtail Klub and by the practice of sacrificing the club's
welfare to selfish corruption steer it on the rocks?
No! This must not be. The Krum Mit Krusts should never gain control! Some-
thing must be done to prevent, but what? The politicians had a majority lined up to
control the pending election. True, they expressed willingness to share honors, but
even partial control might corrupt.
No, every vestige of control must be wrested from their grasp! But how? Fight
fire with fire, that's howl Import an outsider to head the organizations! Elect a
non-member to the presidency! Rotate the chairmanship! Anything to save the ship!
And the ship was saved — everything is at peace. The club has prospered, but
hasn't held a meeting for six months or more. It has been active — to the extent of
getting space in the annual. After this bit of strenous piece of work it deserves rest,
and rest it undoubtedly will.
Long live the Volaceous Curtail Klub! May the fiery practices of the Sordid
Twin Grandmas and the Dozen Phor Swietzer's, when they joined forces to down
corruption with corruption, long be remembei-ed and lauded!

less I'm sure that you need it."
Student: "Well, I've got a blind date with a
girl my sixty-five year old aunt wants me to
take to the formal."
Doc: "How much do you want?"
There are two kinds of girls, those that close
their eyes when kissing and those that look to
see if the fellow does.
All blind dates are not necessarily hot.
Some of them are unnecessarily hot.
''All right, I'll get up, roommate," were the

"How old are you?" inquired the visitor of his host's little son.
"That is a difficult question," replied the modern girl, removing his glasses and
wiping them reflectively. "The latest personal survey shows my psychological age to
be 12, my normal age four, my anatomical age 7. and my physiological age 6. I sup-
pose however, that you refer to my chronological age which is 8. That is so old
fashion' that I seldom think of it any more."
Research
Alpha: "My wife explored my pockets
last night."
Omega: "What did she get?"
Alpha: "About as much as any other
explorer — enough material for a lecture."
Too Far
Edward Witham: "When we reach that
bend in the road I'm going to kiss you."
? "Isn't that going a bit too far?"

And his head

"Where is the car?" demanded the absent-minded professor's wife.
"Dear me," ejaculated the professor, "did I take the car out?"
"You certainly did and drove it to town," answered his wife.
Professor — "How odd! I remember now after I got out 1 turned around to thank
the gentleman who gave me the lift and wondered where he had gone."
"Why," asked an Ohio Student, "does Missouri stand at the head in raising mules?"
"Because," answered the Missouri prof., "that is the only safe place to stand."

He: "Where did you ever learn to kiss
like that?"
Marian: "I play the saxaphone."
Jay (to shopman) : "I say — ah — could you take
that yellow tie with the pink spots out of the win-
dow for me?"
Shopman: "Certainly, sir; pleased to take any-
thing out of the window any time."
Jay: "Thanks awfully. The beastly thing
bothaws me every time I pass. Good mawning."
"Give me your money or I'l blow your brains out,"
commanded the holdup. The intended victim calmly
laughed in a manner that showed he didn't have
either. He was a college boy.
It is a very sad thought, gentle reader, that your
children, twenty years from now, will be reading

What IS Davey Tree Surgery Service?
What will Davey Tree Surgeons do for you?
First of sll, Davey Tree Surgeons diag-
nose each case to determine what is wrong,
if anything. They are especially trained in
the diagnosis of tree troubles.
If a tree is starving, they feed it in the
right way, with the right food elements, a I
the right time.
If a tree is afflicted with any disease or in-
sect enemies for which there is any known
control they treat it with the right spray mix-
ture, in the right way at the right time, and give
it such other attention as conditions warrant
If a tree has dead limbs, or a dying top.
or interfering branches, they prune it scien-
tifically and properly treat the wounds, and
give it any other attention that its condition
requires, such as appropriate feeding.
If a tree has a splitting crotch or is
otherwise structurally weak, they brace it
mechanically by proved Davey methods, to
protect it against the tremendous force of
the winds
If a tree has girdling roots that are slowly
strangling it, they remove the cause and
properly treat the wounds, and then feed it
to build up its vitality.
If a tree has decaying cavities that are
slowly and progressively destroying it, they
treat it by proved Davey methods, unless it
is too far gone to save.
If any of the other numerous tree troubles
are in evidence, they apply proper remedies
as far as humanly possible.
All of this is done with remarkable skill
and diligence and with devotion to the policies
of the Davey Company and the ethics of their
profession. They will please and satisfy you.
